About the author
Jeff Siegel, the Wine Curmudgeon, is a nationally known wine writer whose blog is one of the top 100 wine sites in the world. His work has appeared on the Internet, in newspapers, and regional and national magazines, usually focusing on cheap wine. His philosophy is simple: “The wine industry tries to intimidate consumers instead of educating them -- and nuts to that.”
In addition, Siegel is the co-founder and former president of Drink Local Wine, the first locavore wine movement. He has written six books, including a travel series, and parts of four others. He lives in Dallas.
